The resilience, fortitude, and attitude of the Ukrainian people is remarkable. After more than 3 years of continued conflict, fear and uncertainty, they remain steadfast in their commitment to one another and their communities. We continue to provide humanitarian aid of all kinds to individuals and families throughout the country, including food, daily essentials (including heat), medical care, and social services. People know they are not alone and not forgotten--we are here for them. Their expressions of gratitude serve as poignant reminders that your support matters--without your generous donations, our work would not be possible. Thank you!
"Thank you so much to JRNU and our community for helping us pay for heating this winter. I am a mother of three and we are going through a very difficult time financially. Your help means a lot to our family! Thank you so much for such support!"
"The war makes its adjustments to our lives. But thanks to the care of JRNU, our home is warm. Thank you very much for your support, we know that this is not the only difficult time we will face."
“I am Hanna, and I live in the city of Sumy, with my daughter whom I am raising alone. I work as a cook in a local Jewish kindergarten. From the start of the war, like many families in Sumy, we have not been able to leave--we have nowhere to go. But it is very difficult to survive day to day, with continual explosions, emergency sirens and power outages. Thank you very much for your help.”
“We are a family from Kostyantynivka, in the Donetsk region, who evacuated to Lviv in 2022. We are most grateful to JRNU and the local Jewish community for their support and help in such a difficult time!”
“A huge thank you to JRNU for your help! In such difficult times, you provide strength and opportunity to others. Our family is very grateful to you for such huge and important support for us!”
From a family in Kyiv:
“Thank you very much for your support. In this difficult time, as a mother who is raising two children, this help is very necessary for me! It means so much that you did not leave us alone in this harsh and cold time."
From a family in Dnipro:
“Dear JRNU,
From our Osychenko-Archypovy family, we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts, for the warmth in our home and the care and support of our family.
The help you provide our family is without exaggeration, salvation. The words "thank you" seem too little to express our gratitude for all the incredible help for us. From the bottom of our hearts, we wish you and your families bright happiness and wonderful moments.
A sincere THANK YOU!”
